Nicholas Lee, Director of Pires, commented:
"The Company has made strong progress during this period, with a
significant uplift in the valuation of its portfolio, driven by the
increasing valuation of Getvisibility, in which it has both direct
and indirect interests via SVV1 and SV plc. Given the growth in
NAV, the Company is now trading at a 41% discount to its NAV.
"The Company has also invested a further GBP300,000 in SVV1
during the period. SVV1 includes a number of companies, such as
Getvisibility, Admix and CameraMatics, which have grown materially
in value as a result of both organic growth and new investment
resulting in upward revaluations. Furthermore, SVV1 has now almost
completed its initial investment phase and we are now looking
forward to further increases in the value of the portfolio
companies and subsequent exits, resulting in cash returns to the
Company.
"In March 2022, Pires invested GBP90,000 in SVV2 alongside the
British Business Bank, which has committed to invest GBP50 million
in this new fund. In March 2022, SVV2 led a seed round raising GBP2
million for RETìníZE Limited, the award-winning creative-tech
company based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, marking this fund's
first investment. We look forward to following further developments
from SVV2 in due course.
"Going forward, t he Company has a clear and proven strategy of
investing in next-generation technology and realising returns from
its investments which it will continue to implement. Our portfolio
of investments remains well-poised to achieve significant growth,
delivering value to Pires and its shareholders."

Getvisibility is a leader in data visibility and control, using
state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence ("AI") to classify and
secure unstructured information. Getvisibility also provides risk
and compliance assessments as well as enforcing protection on
sensitive data. The company operates across the US, Europe, the
Middle East and North Africa with a presence in several industry
sectors including banking, healthcare and the public sector.
Getvisibility's clients include a leading global producer of energy

Getvisibility is continuing to rapidly build revenue whilst
taking on new clients, retaining existing clients and signing a
number of multi-year contracts. The company has also expanded its
pipeline by US$6 million and has onboarded 31 new channel partners
across seven countries.
In March 2022, Getvisibility raised EUR10 million from new
investors including Alpha Intelligence Capital, a global venture
capital firm which invests in deep artificial intelligence/machine
learning technology-based companies, and Fortino Capital Partners,
a leading B2B software venture capital and growth equity firm.
Pires made its original investment of EUR250,000 in March 2020,
with a follow-on investment of EUR62,000 in June 2021. Since then,
Getvisibility has made significant progress such that, based on the
post-funding round valuation, Pires' direct stake in Getvisibility
(including its additional investment) is now valued at circa
EUR1,500,000 or over 4 times its total investment cost to date
since it made its first investment two and a half years ago. In
addition, Pires has a further interest in Getvisibility via its 13%
interest in SVV1 and an indirect interest through its holding in SV
plc, which together are now valued at circa EUR1,337,000. Pires'
effective interest in Getvisibility, in aggregate, is therefore now
valued at circa EUR2,837,000.
CameraMatics is a disruptive technology for fleet and driver
risk management. The CameraMatics SaaS-based full-stack platform is
a modular software platform based on camera technology, vision
systems, AI, machine learning and telematics, combined with fleet
safety modules that help fleet operators to drive new safety
standards across their fleet and drivers. The company is growing
revenues significantly in the UK and US and has recently been
shortlisted for the Fleet Safety Product Award as part of the UK
Fleet Champions Award 2022.
VividQ, a leading software and IP developer for holography has
developed a framework for real-time 3D holographic displays for use
in heads-up displays and AR headsets and glasses. In April 2022,
the company announced that it was partnering with Zemax Optics
Studio to demonstrate how computer-generated holography has become
an accessible display for original design manufacturers who want to
release high performance AR products and to showcase the
prototyping of miniaturised optical engines for AR devices. In May
2022, the company launched its proprietary Alpha Optical Engine
Demonstrator aimed at manufacturers of high-end augmented reality
headsets. In July 2022, the company appointed a new Chairman,
Francois Auque. He is a partner at InfraVia Capital, a leading
independent European private equity firm and also serves as a
member of the Board of Directors of Rexel, a wholesale electrical
distributor. His experience in dealing with large corporations,
paired with his knowledge as an investor in deep tech start-ups
will prove valuable in supporting the company in its continued
advancement of breakthrough technology.
Admix, the leading In-Play monetisation company that bridges the
gap between gaming content and brands, announced on 20 June 2022,
that it is merging with LandVault Inc ("LandVault"), a builder of
virtual experiences in metaverse worlds like The Sandbox and
Decentraland, aimed at attracting people into blockchain and
metaverse ecosystems, in order to enter into Web3.
By merging with LandVault, Admix aims to become a go-to service
provider for major intellectual property holders and brands,
enabling large companies across all industries to enter the
metaverse and be monetised with its in-game advertising technology.
The combined company, which will be known as LandVault, will be
able to access US$25 million in growth capital from Admix's Series
B round in October 2021. Samuel Huber, Founder and Chief Executive
Officer of Admix, will remain as Chief Executive Officer of the
combined business.
Smarttech247 is a global artificial intelligence-based cyber
security cloud business that protects enterprises from
cyber-attacks. Smarttech247 has over 100 technology partners,
including IBM and Microsoft, and more than 50 clients based in
Europe and the US. The company has recently won a number of new
clients and has just launched a new MDR product, Vision X. It is
also actively progressing a stock market listing.
SV plc grew its NAV by 6.2% to 125.8p per share and its share
price increased by 11.4% over the period to 107.5p. SV plc's
principal investment is a 25.9% stake in SVV1 and a shareholding in
VividQ.
During the period, the Company also invested in a second SVV
fund, SVV2. The principal investor in SVV2 is the British Business
Bank ("BBB"), an investment arm of the UK Government. The first
close of this fund amounted to GBP85 million, with BBB investing up
to GBP50 million and other investors ("Private Investors"),
including Pires, investing up to GBP35 million over the 10-year
life of the fund.
Pires has initially invested circa GBP90,000, in SVV2 and
expects to invest up to GBP5 million in total over the 10-year life
of the fund which would provide it with a circa 5.9% interest. SVV2
will invest in a range of private UK software companies with a
focus on companies in the Metaverse, Artificial Intelligence and
Cybersecurity sectors. This fund has already made its first
investment in RETi ni ZE Limited, a technology company based in
Belfast which is developing an innovative software product called
Animotive which is harnessing the latest VR technologies to
transform the 3D animation production process.
SVV2 is being managed by the same team which, to date, has been
highly successful in achieving a number of cash realisations from,
and upward revaluations of, companies in SVV1. The profit share
arrangements within SVV2 are designed to encourage the involvement
of the private investors alongside the BBB, meaning that Pires and
the other private investors would expect to receive a significantly
enhanced share of the total return generated by the fund compared
to industry standard.
Direct investments
Low6
Low6 has developed a next-generation sports gaming technology
platform that powers franchises with their own branded gaming
experiences to engage their digital fanbases .
The company's current focus is to charge customers, typically
iGaming operators and sporting franchises, for developing and
licensing digital free-to-play games that they embed in their
mobile apps/websites as a way of driving users to their core
operations. The current financial year is progressing well with
signed contracts, signed term sheets or advanced contractual
negotiations being achieved in respect of a significant portion of
that year's revenue which, due to the investment made in the
company's technology platform, is expected to be high margin. At
the same time the company's cost base and burn rate have been
reduced significantly. The company is currently working with its
advisers and cornerstone investors to raise more capital for the
business to support revenue growth and the move towards
breakeven.
PreCog
A security solution platform company that provides data
intelligence to combat crime, terrorism and protect vulnerable
people. Customers include leading law enforcement and security
agencies and transport infrastructure groups. The company is busy
establishing new contracts and trials.
Getvisibility
Pires' direct stake in Getvisibility (including its additional
investment) is now valued at circa EUR1,500,000 or over 4 times its
total investment cost to date since it made its first investment
two years ago. See above for further detail.
Pluto Digital
Pluto Digital PLC ("Pluto") is a Web3 technology company with a
focus on the Metaverse, blockchain gaming and NFTs. During the
period, Pluto has been working with Maze Theory Limited ("Maze
Theory"), a London-based digital entertainment studio, with a view
to developing high-quality games that incorporate token economics.
Pluto is working on a corporate transaction which will include
Emergent Games, a new Web3 gaming studio which is a joint venture
with Maze Theory. A further announcement on the progress of this
transaction is expected in Q4 2022.
As at 30 June 2022, the Company's equity holding in Pluto was
valued at almost GBP2 million based on a price of 6 pence per
share, which is the price at which the company's most recent
fundraising took place and the price at which Pluto's corporate
transaction with Maze is expected to take place. This represents a
very significant uplift on the Company's initial investment in this
sector.
Key financial indicators
The key unaudited performance indicators are set out below:
Performance indicator 30 June 2022 31 December Change
2021
-------------------------------- ------------- ----------- ------
GBP000s GBP000s
Profit attributable GBP992 GBP1,491
Net asset value GBP 8,702 GBP 7,223
Net asset value - fully diluted
per share 5.23p 4.57p
The Company has generated significant profits during the period
driven by increases in value of its investment portfolio. Whilst
the Company's net assets have continued to increase, we do not
believe that the Company's net asset value fairly represents its
financial potential, given the scope for significant valuation
uplift for the companies within the portfolio. This is clearly
demonstrated by a series of gains, both realised and unrealised,
that have been achieved to date from its investment portfolio.
Furthermore, realisations that are achieved within the SVV
portfolio result in cash distributions to the Company and are not
retained within the fund thereby delivering a real cash return to
the Company.
During the period, the holders of warrants over 12,211,425
ordinary shares in the Company exercised their warrants at 4 pence
per share with total net proceeds to the Company of GBP488,457. All
warrants issued in June 2020 have now been exercised or have
expired by 30 June 2022.
In July 2022, the recommended offer for Pires by Tern plc,
whilst being supported by the majority of Pires shareholders voting
both by number of shareholders and number of shares held, was not
approved by the requisite number to effect a scheme of arrangement,
and therefore lapsed.
Post the period end, the Company raised an additional GBP500,000
before expenses and a further 6,250,000 warrants were issued
exercisable at 8 pence, in conjunction with 12,500,000 shares
issued as part of the placing on 26 August 2022.
Outlook
We remain encouraged by the progress made to date by our
investee companies and the outlook for the respective sectors in
which they operate.
We expect that in the coming months we will see some additional
realisations or liquidity events from the investment portfolio.
Furthermore, it is important to note that, as previously mentioned,
the SVV1 fund has now substantially completed its deployment phase
and so is moving towards a realisation phase which is expected to
generate further cash inflows for the Company.
In summary, we believe that our investment strategy in the
technology sector has already proven successful. Going forward, the
Company is well positioned to become a leading next-generation
technology investment company with an exciting portfolio of
technology companies that have the potential for significant growth
and the ability to deliver real returns for shareholders.
